We have had a busy weekend so far, but I've been able to stick to my eating plan. I'm proud of myself for doing the work it takes to plan everything out and track all of my food. I think it is paying off. I'm also sticking with my workout plan. I do 25 minutes of intense circuit training every day and it is also working. I can see the difference in the mirror now and all of my clothes fit well again. My best friend is also training and following a much more time intensive workout plan. She's putting in over an hour each day. She looks amazing and she's seeing results faster, but I do not want to dedicate that much time to working out. Slow and steady is working for now. I'm really excited for her though. She's going through a rough patch and this is giving her something positive to focus on. It is nice to have friends along for the journey to healthier lives.

I'm not sure I'll lose as much weight this week as last week. It usually slows after the initial shock to the body. I only planned on one pound a week though, so I'll be happy if I can achieve that.
